The Godfather of Scambaiting: Inside the War on Scammers

YouTube

@GeePawHill the fact that #ScammerPayback, #JimBrowning and all the other #ScamBaiters don't run out of content and nowadays find more and more aggressive #Scammers literally emptying peoples' bank accounts (or rather manipulating them into doing that) is worrying.

Wasting #Scammers' time with "#AI" is at least a good use-case, cuz every second they waste with a #bot is one they cannot #scam a real person...

I'd say that #ScamCalls and #SpamCalls are a [almost] #US-exclusive phenomenon.

Yes, #JimBrowning is a legend in #ScamBaiting for good reasons.

  • He's #based and actually raised #awareness of this problem even back in the days when #scammers only tried to fish for low-to-mid denomination #GiftCards and not tried to drain every cent out of some elder's bank accounts...

Not that it makes it less of a crime in a book, because #scam victims basically get "gang-banged" by other scammers because once exploited they are getting "milked" regularly with other #scams...

#YetAnotherReason why noone should ask for a #PhoneNumber, much less to consider it a "#security" feature...

Repeat after me: #PhoneNumbers are insecure and #2FA - #SMS are even less secure!!!

@hoernchen72 @fasnix @expertenkommision_cyberunfall EXAKT DAS!

Oft sind das #Betrüber die Menschen dazu überreden (#SocialEngineering / #SocialHacking) und/oder entsprechend #FUD machen.

Ist nix anderes als die #Schockanruf-Taktik, nur halt 'irgendwas mit #Cyber' und sei's nen Fake-#Popup.

If you might be interested in how the phone scam "industry" is works then there is a great episode on the Scammer Payback YouTube channel with "Jim Browning" which is illuminating on how that side of cybercrime and fraud works,

I love #ScamBaiters It's a fascinating genre to watch. I think #JimBrowning has some of the best stuff out there. #Kitboga was my first and his stuff is still enjoyable. #AtomicShrimp was so enjoyable I watch his non scam stuff.

Sporadically I check out #ScammerPayback, #RinoaPoison, and a few others randomly.

But #TrilogyMedia is so up and down. They're such bullies. And then they started predator hunting and it just feels like they're getting worse.
